Johnsderry Valued Member Ireland 374 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 3:30 pm As some of you may know I collect old irish and british coins not really american but I decided to bid on an auction on ebay there now and won my first two half dollars. I would like to know how much these are worth or what you would ppay for them . (these are the sellers images) and (i also live in the north of Ireland so its difficult to get US coins here) Thanks John Report this Post to the Staff

iraqandroll Valued Member United States 196 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 3:45 pm Very nice coins. Since the 42 had a minting of around 48 million and the 43 had a minting of around 53 million, they are fairly common. With that in mind they are probably around $14-15 U.S. Still beautiful coins no matter how many were made. Report this Post to the Staff

supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 5:18 pm Hey John, (editing as I didn't notice price was in pounds) I think you did fine. The coins might be worth a bit less than what you've paid for, but it doesn't mean you can get them for less at your location. As a rule of thumb, it's pretty much impossible to "flip" coins for a profit unless the shipping price is low (i.e. if you're in Europe, buy US coins for fun, but don't expect to make a quick buck on them). You got a couple of nice examples, and I suggest you keep them as a silver investment or just enjoy them. Edited by supgog 01/17/2013 5:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 5:21 pm 20 pound is $32USD...for not being able to source those coins in an easy manner on your side of the pond I'd say you paid just right for them... Report this Post to the Staff
